230. Augmented reality
Guan Huang: "I heard that you were engaged in reality augmentation technology before?" ”
Hou Shujun nodded.
Guan Huang: "Now this piece, has it completely stopped?" ”
Hou Shujun nodded, very helpless, "It took a lot of money, and I couldn't find the direction of landing, there was no way." ”
It's not that you can make money with advanced technology, and if you can't solve people's pain points, then this technology is useless.
Guan Huang: "It's a pity to stop completely, I intend to invest in some projects in this area, you look at the "under the sky", is there anyone willing to continue researching? ”
When Hou Shujun heard this, he couldn't believe it: "Are you willing to invest in augmented reality technology?" ”
Guan Huang turned around.
Hou Shujun was overjoyed: "If this is the case, our entire "Tianxia" company is willing. ”
"Huh?"
Hou Shujun: "You know, although you are now on fire with a bracelet, you still can't let go of your original dream in your heart." ”
Guan Huang understood.
That's what he thought before, when he was dying of hunger, he just had to stutter.
Once you've eaten your fill, you start thinking wildly.
"Lao Hou, I want to set up my own project team......"
Hou Shujun gritted his teeth: "Mr. Guan, I'll be honest, as long as you can invest in augmented reality projects, "Under the World" can be sold to you." ”
Guan Huang was stunned, and said with a smile: "Lao Hou said that he laughed, how can I have that money." ”
The rotten ship also has three points of nails, according to Guan Huang's estimate, there is no 50 million "under the sky" that cannot be taken.
Moreover, this is the price before.
Strong technical research and development team, most of the personnel graduated from first-class universities, holding many national patents......
Not to mention, now with the support of the bracelet order, "under the sky" has somewhat recovered a little bit of vitality and survived.
Hou Shujun: "Mr. Guan, as long as there are 10 million, the "world" is yours." ”
Guan Huang: "Huh? ”
Hou Shujun smiled bitterly, "Now the company has improved, but the technical team has been divided, and many key members have revealed the intention of leaving. ”
"Isn't that the case?"
Hou Shujun was very helpless: "At the beginning, everyone's goal was to use technology to change the world, but now it has fallen to such a point that many people can't stand this gap." ”
Guan Huang pondered for a moment and said directly: "Ten million can be taken out, there won't be only this one condition, right?" ”
Hou Shujun's face turned red, "That, as long as you can guarantee to keep investing money in this." ”
Guan Huang smiled, it sounds simple, keep investing money?
You must know that the "Under the Sky" company has developed augmented reality technology before, and it has suffered huge losses every year, and even banks are reluctant to lend......
Hou Shujun also knew that this condition was a bit embarrassing, and explained: "Mr. Guan, the reason why "Under the Sky" is established is for this goal, and if the direction is changed, there is no need for it to exist. ”
Guan Huang did not speak.
He was weighing whether it would be better to eat "under the sky" in one bite or to recruit some people to come over and set up a new project team.
To be honest, the price of 10 million is not expensive.
"This, follow-up investment, there must always be a deadline or amount, right?"
Hou Shujun was stunned for a moment, "Then it's set at 50 million in three years?" It is guaranteed that in the next three years, the investment in augmented reality technology cannot be less than 50 million. ”
Guan Huang nodded slowly, this condition is not too much.
The two sides each took a step back, and the investment of almost 60 million yuan was explained to each other.
"You don't have to go back and talk to everyone?"
"No need, I can call the shots", Hou Shujun naturally won't tell the truth.
After getting the order from Vulcan, the "Under the World" company also made a lot of efforts to find investors, bank loans, and national policies for augmented reality technology......
It's a pity that in vain.
Because there has been no output, the augmented reality industry is like a bottomless pit, and there is no Bole who knows horses.
Don't think high-end technology is attractive, although augmented reality sounds cool, as if black technology, tall, but it is a big pit, and virtual reality, mixed reality and called the three poisonous apples, it looks tempting, but it is actually toxic.
By 2020, it has not yet formed a mature industrial scale.
Therefore, the tragedy "under heaven" is doomed.
Unless there is support at the national level, this kind of startup will not last for a few years.
Guan Huang nodded: "How is your equity distributed?" ”
Hou Shujun: "I personally hold 30% of the shares, the R&D team holds 48% of the shares, a friend holds 10% of the shares, and the remaining 12% is distributed by employees. ”
"What 10 million?"
Hou Shujun sighed: "Many people believe in me, so they started a business together, I can't treat them badly, this 10 million is also everyone's return in the past few years." ”
Almost everyone can share hundreds of thousands, which can be regarded as more than the upper and lower than the bottom.
Guan Huang naturally didn't have an opinion, "Okay, in that case, let's make a quick decision, you notify the "Under the Sky" side to prepare the contract, and strive to complete the formalities within a week." ”
Hou Shujun didn't expect the new boss to be so resolute, but for him, this is also a long drought and nectar, and he wishes that the sooner the better, "The specific terms ......"
Guan Huang comforted: "10 million acquisitions, 50 million R&D investment in three years, I have no objection to these two points, what else do you think?" ”
"It's gone", Hou Shujun shook his head.
The most important thing is this, everything else is trivial.
Guan Huang continued: "In the future, we will be a family, so let's not be polite, "Under the Sky", as a subsidiary of Vulcan, operates independently, but the bracelet project and the router project have to continue, and this advantage cannot be left behind. ”
Hou Shujun has no opinion, only does research and development, a dead end, he has suffered enough.
Guan Huang: "Augmented reality, the establishment of a new project team, all employees of the company who are interested, can sign up, I think, even if there are ideals, there are always people who are unwilling to participate in the new project." ”
Hou Shujun took over, "About half of the R&D team is willing to participate. ”
This number is not low, not all of them are idealists, they have experienced many failures, and they still do not change their original intentions.
Guan Huang: "Okay, let's have a tight schedule and a heavy task, so let's not say much polite words, while changing the procedures, while adjusting the structure, what do you think?" ”
Hou Shujun: "I have no opinion. ”
Guan Huang: "Okay, then let's start now." ”
Hou Shujun hurriedly said, "By the way, Mr. Guan, what is the main research direction of our augmented reality technology?" ”
He naturally hopes that the other party can point out a clear path, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be another tragedy three years later.
Guan Huang smiled: "Game." ”
